Irony. What fun.

So we're at Red Rocks with my wife's brother and his wife when we are approached by some folks with a TV camera.  They are from Italy.  They are filming a show called "Thirty Days in Colorado" for an Italian travel channel.  They had overheard us bantering and thought we might be good guides for their shoot.  They all seemed pretty cool so we agreed. 

Sevina, the hot host of the show, interviewed Sarah and I about Denver.  She asked if we come to Red Rocks to 'do gymnastics' which we took as a rough translation for 'exercise' yet I was flattered as I've never had anyone look at me and ask if I do gymnastics.  Or excercise for that matter.   I think once I got a concerned "do you excercise" from a doctor but he followed that with "moderation" so I'd have to say this hot Italian lady is the first. 

During our Q & A she asked if Denver was a safe place.  Immediately an image flashed through my mind of the Denver Nugget randomly shot three times just the night before.  I said "yes, it's very safe."   At about this exact moment someone was smashing my Corolla window and stealing my sister-in-law's purse.  One of the items in her handbag was her passport.  We don't know who has it now.  But the world's next heinous terrorist act could be commited by a nervous man who goes by 'Ruth Anne'.  If you're suspiscious of his true identity casually ask 'her' how many steps 'she' used to have to climb to get to 'her' apartment in Boston.  If 'she' says anything but 44 then please request 'she' return to Colorado and fix my flippen window.

I had a great comeback for this story, however having been there and done that, I know how your sis-in-law is feeling. I hear from my law enforcement friends, that a thief will generally "rifle" through a purse very quickly and not very far from where they stole the purse. If you haven't already done so, you may want to go back and look around the area. Get a stick and pilfer through the trash cans, or nearby bushes.

Good Luck, and I hope everything turns out alright for her.

ewy... the real tragedy of this story is that you're displaying a picture of broken glass and not one of the hot italian woman! as usual, you're priorities are all screwed-up. cazzo mio! btw, any new reports on the whereabouts of the purse or why hodges got shot?

The purse and Hodges might be connected. Think about it: I'm round, so is a basketball. My window is shattered. He broke records at NC State. My sister-in-law loses her purse. Hodges loses with the Nuggets.

So I'm looking into it.

Oh, and I'll post Sevina...

Some people would have broken the window just for the Skittles.

Remember that classic line in "The Godfather"?

"Leave the gun......Take the cannolli"

Jared, when I said you should post a picture of Sevina, perhaps I should have been more specific and told you to post one that didn't have your hairy-ass in it! Your wife, sure, but you - no.

In reading your snapshot of this again, it came to me that perhaps Sevina's film crew was the one that busted your car window and stole the purse? Perhaps part of their travel show is to commit various misdemeanors against unsuspecting Americans, then interview the victims by asking questions about how safe the area is, thus showing the constant stream of irony flowing thru our society? I'm calling Homeland Security.

Still, what's a girl from Boston doing leaving her purse unattended on a car seat for all the world to see? Everyone knows that Red Rocks is where all the high school kids go to get stoned and annoy nature lovers.
